Doesn't everyone pay the same? Thanks in advance for the info and advice. Excited to see all the Villages offers!
Amenities FEE??? Does everyone pay the same???? Your amenity fee goes up every year. The amenity fee changes on the month the original owner purchased the home. I purchased / closed on my home in October of 2020 my amenity fee went up in August of 2021. Depending on who you talk to yes someone may pay less or more. Depends if someones home was originally purchased in February and someone else's home was originally purchased in October. It's about the time difference. But Yes everyone pays about the same. My home was built in 2004. The beginning of 2022 I was paying 168.74, now I am paying 182.68. No one is paying $500. You get a bill every month and the amenity fee, the water bill house and irrigation, sewer bill, etc. That will be much higher because of your individual usage.
Best of Luck
